Question

I am using Visual studio 2008 and I want to get the absolute path of the .exe file?
meaning when the user opens the exe file, I need to know its absolute path??

thanks in advance

Under Windows try the following:

char ExeName[8192]; // or what ever max. size you expect.

if (0 != GetModuleFileName (NULL, ExeName, sizeof (ExeName)))
{
  printf ("Your array was probably not large enough. Call GetLastError for details\n");
}

If you compile for unicode use wchar_t.
